28. Property Taxes

While there’s no official widespread waiving or extending property tax deadlines to struggling homeowners, that certainly doesn’t mean you can’t or shouldn’t reach out to ask for some form of relief. Try contacting your local tax office to explain your own specific circumstances and see if they’ll do a deal with you. Of course, you’ll still have to pay them eventually – much like your mortgage – but you might get a little respite in your time of need.

27. Internet Service Providers

Given how useful the internet is in the midst of a pandemic – it provides news on the situation, allows people to remain in face-to-face contact with loved ones, and enables shopping from the comfort of your own home – the last thing you want is to be disconnected from it. So, if you’re concerned about paying your home internet bills, give your provider a call and talk to them. Several of them are offering payment flexibility to customers whose income has decreased.
